I enjoy playing RO2. I never played the first one but decided to buy this because I heard very good things about it when people were playing the beta.

Fortunately I can play the game with acceptable performance (I say acceptable because my rig could eat this game alive, but framerate are not as good as other UT3 games), and I haven't encountered major game breaking bugs.

I experienced only one CTD till now.

Sound on the other hand is a mess. Sometimes It mutes and I have to restart the game, other times it becomes very messy.

One major complain I have about the game is hit detection in close range. It's so damn annoying when I spray one clip to a guy and it won't die :)

I updated to the newest beta drivers getting about 50%-60% usage out of the cards now but it still dips allot down to 15-30% (everything maxed)

So new drivers and recent patch didn't help?
Have you tried lowering sound detail? Other tweaks?

The drivers helped a bit, Iv tried setting the sound to low/8channel it helps very little but then the sound cuts out all the time.

Each time I play this game the gpu usage seems to be different only getting 40-50% max usage now and it often stutters
:( to 25%

Sell your two budget cards and buy one decent for the same cash. Problem solved!

On a serious note. If you're experiencing performance issues on your rig and consider it mid/high end than do as they say in:
http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=61789

instead of constantly bumping and whining in your own thread. Sometimes dev's won't answer because they're working on solving problems that are properly reported.

I just tested it in 1920*1200 windowed mode with GPU-Z and task manager next to it.
My GPU (6950 unlocked shaders to 6970 and 70 clocks as well) never went above 50% and my CPU (AMD Phenom 2 x4 920 @ 3.01 Ghz) never went above 45%..

Still no 60 FPS minimum..

Only way to get same performance then my 2 460s is to get a 580, and they are 250 bucks more then what I played for my 2 460s. Iv sent in stat perfdumps 2 times. Once in the beta and once in the full game

2 X 560 TI SC SLI here. I get great FPS most of the time but the the usage jumps around alot. It will go from 80% for both GPUs then drop to 30-40%. I can't complain to much as my FPS drop only on 64 slot servers.

i'm now getting great fps too on my 460GTX sli and GTX260 sli machine's. however, i think it's because i have real beefy cpu's. ones a core i5 750 @ 3.6 and the other is a core i5 760 @ 4.0Ghz. it seems to be ALL about the cpu untill they figure out the cpu/gpu issues ...

Its not much better then a 955 @ 3.6, they are just having a issues with amd cpus. Might go intel next year thou when the new cpus come out
